RMP-2 will further improve the the company’s capability to supply the increasing demand for white products (LPG, gasoline, and diesel) and petrochemicals.
Once completed, RMP-2 will enable Petron’s Bataan Refinery to ‘digest’ a wider range of crude oils including from African sources, giving it greater flexibility to source cost-efficient crude types.
Petron’s operational efficiency will also significantly improve since the project allows the full conversion of all remaining black streams into high-margin white products and petrochemicals.
Additionally, RMP-2 is the local production of fuels that meet the global clean air standard of the future – Euro 5, further improving air quality in the country.
Petron will partner with global technology and engineering companies focused on refining and petrochemical production namely Axens, UOP, CBI Lummus, Foster Wheeler, and Daelim.
